One of the fund-raising groups that had connections to North Carolina was the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which formerly was based in Richardson, Texas. The Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets named the charity a specially designated terrorist organization and shut it down in 2001.

The foundation was a front organization for Hamas and sponsored offices and fund-raisers nationwide, including in Charlotte. The foundation was one of the largest Islamic charities in the United States, raising about $13 million annually.

But the filmmakers use the Islamic
symbol of a crescent moon and star to spell out “Obsession.” And the DVD
offers mostly frightening images of Muslim leaders and crowds,
comparing them to Hitler and the Nazis. Its on-screen pundits include
anti-Muslim figures, including Walid Shoebat, who has said that “Islam
is not the religion of God – Islam is the devil.”

Also included: A grisly excerpt from an anti-Semitic TV show in which the execution of a young boy is dramatized.

Local Muslims criticized the Observer for agreeing to distribute the DVD.

“That film definitely is
something that would be considered hate speech,” said Rose Hamid,
president of Muslim Women of the Carolinas. “What if somebody put an
(advertising) insert in saying Hitler was right? Would you carry that? …
This is unacceptable.”

Notice the tag on her upper left shoulder. It is shaped in the image of the rub’ al-hizb,
which is a series of squares within squares used in Islamic
calligraphy. It has two meanings. The first is that it used as a visual
model for helping to recite the Quran. It is also known as the Al-Quds
star, since is represents Jerusalem and specifically, the Dome of the
Rock in Sunni Islam. It can be found on many Muslim flags, literary, and
architectural works throughout Islamic history.

However, what makes this particular example sickening is it is (a) pinned on her shoulder and (b) it is yellow. This
is likely a reference to the infamous Star or Cross patches, bands,
hoods, and other insignia that Muslims forced Jewish and Christian
dhimmis to wear as a sign of their second-class citizenship in Muslim
lands for centuries and was later adapted for use in 20th century German
for reasons we all know why:

Read the whole thing. Hamas is the 'Palestinian' branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Holy Land Foundation trial was about CAIR's support of Hamas.

One has to wonder whether Hamid was planted at the Trump rally or showed up on her own.

Thank you for your posts! Keep them coming. I don't understand what is happening to the world today. How is trying to increasing security to vet the Syrians racist? How is it racist to try and protect people when Isis said they wanted to come in as refugees? How is the media allowed to compare the US refusing Jewish people during WWII to the Syranian refugees? It's not fair what is happening. We just want to make sure everyone is safe...how is that labeled as being an Islamaphobe? No other groups go around shooting and blowing themselves up just for the heck of it. No other groups sexually assault women and rape them. This isn't a rare occurence it is happening daily! How many people must die and suffer until we realize that there are radical Islamists who actually do want to harm us. It has nothing to do with Israel or the wests intrusiveness- these radicals believe we are better off dead than living a life not following Allah. Are we so egotistical that we think no group is actually capable of hating us?

About Me

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
